I don’t have your same concern about carry-ons. When I traveled for work a week at a time, it was nice that I could pack 5 days worth of clothes and take them with me without (usually) having to wait for 30+ minutes at the check in line and the bag carousel thereafter. The last thing you want to do when you are nearly back home after a long week of work and travel is to have to wait yet once more.

What I do take issue with is the people who queue all the way out into the hallway when boarding. Especially when they’re in the last groups and the first groups are just being called. It’s definitely worse in some airports (looking at you, CLT and ATL).

Or, all the people who immediately stand in the aisle when deboarding. Let those people who need to make their connections get up and out first.

The way people handle themselves around airline travel (particularly in the US) is one of the only places that makes me lose faith in humanity.

He’s player one. All of the rest of us are just NPCs.

It still bewilders me why we are even having this conversation. The guy tried to overthrow our government. The government of the people, in accordance of our constitution. If that’s not the definition of treason I don’t know what is.

Right? Why do civilizations fight wars anyway? If not flat out colonialism and dick measuring, then It’s usually for resources, maybe protection for cultural exclaves if it serves the nation’s geopolitical interest.

All that is to say, Russians are not Chinese. And I don’t think many Eastern Russians would welcome the switch. So, China would be instigating a lot of strife for minimal gains.

Taiwan on the other hand, I can at least understand. I don’t agree with the stance, not in the least, primarily because I believe democracy is superior to communism. Nevertheless, if I had my adversaries 100 miles off my border and their existence hampered me economically and militarily, then I absolutely would subjugate them in any way possible.

I’d donate a few dollars a month. Newgrounds is a great content creation space. I still play games there from time to time. The Mario 63 game is off the wall. Dead Estate is also a fantastic retro style shooter like the ones I remember from my childhood. I think places like this need to survive.

A drizzle, about as much I’d apply as chocolate sauce to vanilla ice cream.

Looks like a country that could use some Freedom™.

There’s a brand called Fage that is kinda expensive but super thick. It’s not runny like other yogurts seem to be. It’s my go to when I have a bit of extra funds. Add some granola, strawberries, maybe some honey or walnuts, cinnamon, vanilla, whatever to your hearts content.

One other thing I should emphasize. A combination of yogurt and honey is fucking delicious.

I think you’d find that Fage doesn’t give that same slimy yuck factor that other yogurts do. It’s denser than Chobani or Stoneybrook (maybe equivalent to Skyr?) In any case, I think it more so has the texture of whipped topping.

I don’t get it all the time, because it is expensive, but when I do, it’s a treat.

Sure I’ll give it a shot. Romney did Obamacare for Massachusetts, so a moderate republican may do OK with DHHS.

I’d also be OK with Federal Reserve, isn’t a republican currently serving in that role? Bernanke was a republican and he did alright.

Veterans Affairs possibly as well, if Kamala gave guidance.

But keep them the hell away from Energy, EPA and Education. Probably not DOT if we ever want a decent rail system too.

Didn’t Lincoln include members from various political parties? And he’s arguably the best president we’ve had.

It’s as if, and hear me out on this, there aren’t enough progressives alone to elect a president in a nation of 350+ million people.

I suppose it also tells the good guys too.
